I nearly cried one day, when I visited a retired provider that was my first on the boards...she had kept my first gift card I gave her, had it framed, and had it hanging on the wall in her kitchen. We had become real life friends, even though she retired to get married. I never knew it meant so much to some of my ATFs down through the years.

It is supposed to be a plain white envelope, unsealed and unmarked. Benjamin Franklin will convey your sentiments. Originally Posted by NorthWoodWhat Grinch made up that hidebound rule?

No one has ever complained and even if it's gilding the lily, if it makes me happy and pleases the provider even one little bit, what's the harm?
